Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Autumn lifted the blanket and got out of bed. “Alright, I’ll head over now.”

The agent kindly reminded her, “Don’t forget to bring your ID and proof of address. We can get the paperwork done right away.”

“Got it,” Autumn replied, then quickly went to wash up.

She was more than ready to move out, but to avoid drawing attention, she had no choice but to move things little by little.

Zoe saw her coming downstairs and handed her a glass of warm milk.

“Ma’am, have some milk first to settle your stomach. Lunch will take a while.”

Autumn took it, drank it down, then said, “Zoe, I’m heading out for a bit. I won’t be home for lunch.”

Zoe hesitated before saying, “But Mr. Carter mentioned he’d be home for lunch today. Won’t you wait and eat together?”

Autumn paused, then shook her head. “No, I have something to do.”

With that, she picked up the car keys from the coffee table and walked out without the slightest hesitation.

Zoe stood there stunned.

Autumn really had been acting strangely these past couple of days.

After thinking it over, she ended up calling Julian.

It rang for a long time before he finally answered.

After Zoe explained why she called, Julian simply said, “Got it,” and quickly hung up.

Zoe was speechless.

Maybe she really was worrying too much for no reason.

Meanwhile, Autumn arrived at the agency, only to unexpectedly run into Jesse.

She paused, then walked over to greet him. “Mr. Grant, what are you doing here?”

Jesse adjusted his glasses. “Mr. Sinclair asked me to come and assist.”

So, it was Keith again.

Autumn was surprised but didn’t say anything else.

Another favor she now owed him.

The fully furnished two–bedroom apartment had a large balcony, plenty of sunlight, and came with everything she needed to move in right away.

Since Jesse was accompanying her, the staff were especially polite, and the price offered was even lower than the market rate.

Autumn knew this was Keith’s doing.

Otherwise, at this price, there was no way she could’ve landed a place in such a prime location on Southbridge

Road.

She paid quickly.

Since the whole process was handled through back channels, the paperwork was processed in no time, and she got the keys just around lunchtime.

She turned to Jesse and said, “Mr. Grant, thank you for your help today. It’s already lunchtime. Let me treat you to a meal.”

Jesse waved it off and glanced at his watch. “Mr. Sinclair arranged everything. I was just following his instructions.

“If you really want to thank someone, thank him. I’ve got some things to handle back at the office, so I’ll head out.”

“Alright, take care.”

After sending Jesse off, Autumn grabbed a quick lunch nearby, then headed home to start moving things.

Looking around the room, she wondered where she should begin.

Her eyes landed on the stack of textbooks piled in the corner, already coated in a thick layer of dust from being neglected for so long.

She might as well start with those.

She grabbed a cloth and carefully wiped each book clean before placing them into a cardboard box.

As she carried the box downstairs, she happened to run into Julian, who had just rushed back.

He glanced at her and asked casually, “Where are you taking those books?”

Autumn looked down at the books in her arms and replied offhandedly, “I was cleaning the room and saw these lying around gathering dust. Figured they’re useless now, so I’m tossing them.”

Julian’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He glanced at the box without much interest and said, “Just let Zoe handle things like that next time.”

He changed his shoes and hurried upstairs to the study, as if he came back just to grab something important.

Autumn didn’t think much of it.

She placed the box of books into the trunk, and just as she was about to open the car door, Julian walked out with

a file in hand.

They met eyes for a brief moment but said nothing, each slipping into their cars as if they hadn’t seen the other, acting like two complete strangers.

A trace of bitterness flashed through Autumn’s heart, but she quickly pushed it down.
